Take the resizing die and screw it into your press. Make sure that the case holder touches the bottom of the resizing die. Take the case and put it into the case holder. Pull the lever to force the case into the sizing die and to remove the spent primer in one easy step. It is important to note that if you are NOT using tungsten carbide steel dies, then each and every case needs to be lubed with a special case lube before the case is resized to prevent it from seizing itself into the sizing die. Almost all resizing reloading dies designed for handguns these day are all manufactured with a tungsten carbide insert, so if you have new dies, it is likely to be of the tc variety. The exception to this rule is if you reload a “necked down” type caliber, like the .357Sig, 7.62x25 Tok, 7.63mm Mauser etc. Please make sure to only decap a boxer primed case. Accidently decapping a berdan case might break the decapping pin on the sizing die.
